connecticut has among the toughest gun laws in this country. didn't help. scotland and norway have very tough gun laws, didn't help. >> didn't stop but it does lessen the occasion of violence, doesn't it? >> since columbine there have been 181 of these school shootings. >> remember, we did have a ban on assault weapons. when we put the ban in place these incidents didn't decline in a measurable way. and when we took them off they didn't increase in a measurable way. >> there were five guns in the house. the shooter chose two semiautomatic pistols and one semiautomatic rifle. he did not choose the two deer hunting rifles. it seems to me that the congresswoman is absolutely right, there is a bright line here that we should be able to, you know, hunt. you know, hunters should be able to go about their sport, but there's no need to hunt with a semiautomatic rifle. there's none. >> congressman? >> well, look i'm a concealed carry permit gun holder. i have a glock .23. i'm not the person you need to worry about and there are millions who deal with this properly.
